SharePoint Online: PowerShell to Send Email

We can send emails from SharePoint online, either with SPUtility's SendEmail function or with PowerShell cmdlet Send-MailMessage. Here are examples in both the cases:

PowerShell to Send Email in SharePoint Online:
Here is how to send an E-mail from SharePoint Online using PowerShell Client Side Object Model (CSOM) script.

Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Powershell -DisableNameChecking

#Config Parameters                                                                 
$AdminSiteURL = "https://crescent-admin.sharepoint.com/"
$EmailFrom ="[email protected]"
$EmailTo = "[email protected]"
$Subject ="SharePoint Online Storage Report"

#Setup Credentials and connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminSiteURL -Credential $Cred

#Get Storage Usage of All Site collections
$SiteStorage = Get-SPOSite -Detailed | Select Url, StorageUsageCurrent
       
#Setup the site context for SPUtility SendEmail
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.UserName,$Cred.Password)

#Setup Email
$EmailProperties = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.EmailProperties
$EmailProperties.From = $EmailTo
$EmailProperties.To = [String[]] $EmailTo
$EmailProperties.Subject = $Subject
$EmailProperties.Body = $SiteStorage | Convertto-html
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.Utility]::SendEmail($Ctx,$EmailProperties)
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()

This sends Email using SPUtility's SendMail method with storage consumption of all site collections in SharePoint Online. Here from and To emails are Email addresses within the organization.
